Punga Grove Motor Lodge Review

This gorgeous spot surrounded by huge tree ferns and rainforest is my pick for the best value in the area. The seven rainforest studios built in 2003 are the best of all. They have big Jacuzzis and leather furnishings, and look directly into the forest. Among the original choices, the two-bedroom suite is especially appealing, with a big kitchen. Four other units have two levels with rooms looking directly into the treetops. They're shady, inviting, and well situated for long stays. The complex is in a quiet location, 150m (500 ft.) from shops and restaurants and just across the road from the new Glacier Hot Pools.

Babysitting; Internet

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
